  STEVE

  Well it's a hard job but somebody's gotta do it, right!

  Rick and Steve high-five and laugh.

  The Lieutenant and Officer Stephens give them a dirty look and they stop.

  INT. ALEXANDRA'S HOTEL ROOM

  Alexandra, with her friend, Brittany, join Angel on a couch watching TV and just being girls at a day slumber party. Chips and salsa kinda party.

  Alexandra

  He wasn't much of a boyfriend any. More of a boytoy with a key to making me an international superstar.

  BritTANY

  Superstar!

  Angel

  What are you going to do now that the show's cancelled?

  Alexandra

  Whatever there is to do.

  ANGEL

  Not much. There's always the Fight Nights every night at Los Diablos.

  BRITTANY

  Oh how awesome, you mean like MMA?

  ANGEL

  No. Death fights. Now that the mafia runs Buckeye City they can host these once illegal death fights.

  Alexandra

  Let's go tonight. Maybe I can find me another Boy Toy.

  ANGEL

  Don't count on it around here. Nobody has any money.

  They all giggle until -

  A knock at the door.

  Angel goes to the door and opens it.

  Alexa stands on the other side.

  ANGEL

  Tell Jacki I'm not working today!

  ALEXA

  I'm not here for you. I'm here for Alexandra. It's urgent.

  THE INVITE

  EXT. CEMETERY

  Daisy lies in a solid pearl-colored casket enamored in many different flowers.

  ST. ELIZABETH, an older woman and preacher of God, oversees this funeral procession.

  Ivy stands with her family in front of the casket.

  St. Elizabeth

  Daisy May, may you rest in peace and join the heavenly angels. God bless you my child. You died way too young.

  Mitch walks by Ivy, talking in her ear.

  RuSSELL BROWN

  I am very sorry for your loss.

  Ivy

  Can it. You knew I was the better fighter, why'd you think I let her beat me?

  MITCH BLACK

  Because to be the best you gotta beat the best.

  IVY

  Oh you mean your wife?

  MITCH BLACK

  Exactly.

  IVY

  What's this fight you're organizing?

  MITCH BLACK

  A tournament of nothing but models interested in signing with an international modeling agency with a multimillion dollar contract.

  IVY

  So Alexa's fighting?

  MITCH BLACK

  She's the main event. Whoever wins the tournament gets the coveted chance to fight her.

  IVY

  I want in.

  MITCH BLACK

  I know you do. That will be arranged. I want you to kill my wife.

  IVY

  See to it I get to exact my revenge.

  MITCH BLACK

  You have my word as the world's deadliest assassin.

  Mitch Black and St. Elizabeth meet eyes, nodding their heads at each other.

  St. Elizabeth blesses Daisy's corpse and leaves.

  A mysterious hooded woman stands from afar.

  It's Alexa, incognito, enjoying the mourning of Daisy's family over their loss.

  Alexa

  (to herself)

  Mess with the best, die like the rest. Daisy didn't listen and now she's pushing daisies. More like ForgetMeNots because I've already forgotten her.

  Moonlight walks behind her.

  She spots Moonlight.

  Moonlight pays no attention to her.

  ALEXA

  Hey sunshine.

  Moonlight stops and turns around.

  MoonLIGHT

  It's Moonlight!

  ALEXA

  Whatever Twilight reject.

  MOONLIGHT

  What do you want?

  ALEXA

  Man, tough break about that Fashion Show isn't it?

  MOONLIGHT

  Yeah I was going to use the money to save my baby from state custody.

  ALEXA

  You have a baby? Who the hell... oh never mind. Would you do anything for your baby?

  MOONLIGHT

  If it involves money of course!

  ALEXA

  Oh trust me, it does. Millions and millions. All you gotta do is fight. To the death.

  MOONLIGHT

  Oh that sounds rad! Can I watch? I love blood!

  ALEXA

  Can you watch? What the - ? You can do better, you can be a star!

  MOONLIGHT

  I don't fight, I'm not interested.

  ALEXA

  What happened to doing anything for your baby?

  St. Elizabeth interrupts as Moonlight walks away.

  St. Elizabeth

  I'll take care of this. She must be at the fight. These crazy girls can kill and make us a ton of money. I don't have my faith in the assassin.

  Alexa nods in agreement.

  INT. GYM

  Tiffany, after free weights, pounds away at a punching bag, bare fisted really hard. Hurts her hand.

  Tiffany

  Cage-fighting wannabe!

  She falls to one knee, rubbing it.

  Her trainer, Amber, holding a towel, creeps up behind her.

  AMBER

  You should wrap your hands first. Hit the showers, you look dehydrated. I just got hired to work temporarily at Los Diablos.

  TIFFANY

  The sponsor for the show?

  AMBER

  Yes.

  Tiffany heads to the showers as Amber skips away.

  INT. GYM - SHOWER

  Tiffany walks into the shower room.

  Singing a song.

  TIFFANY

  Who does she think she is putting her hands on me.

  Turns the water on.

  Attempts to take off her top when suddenly a hand grabs her hair and pulls her away.

  It's Jade and she's still mad from yesterday.

  JADE

  I need an opponent for my next MMA fight and I think you'll do.

  She throws Tiffany against the shower.

  They fight a short while. Jade block's an attempted face kick from Tiffany.

  Jade elbows her leg.

  As Tiffany falls Jade quickly follows to stay on her and punches her right in the face.

  Tiffany cries for help.

  Alexa walks by the women's locker room and hears her cry.

  She runs in to see Jade with her fist raised as Tiffany lies, completely clothed, on the shower floor.

  ALEXA

  What the world Jade? Save it for the fight.

  She spits on her then leaves the showers. With spite, she knocks into Alexa.

  Alexa goes to help her.

  ALEXA

  Go ahead and finish, I'll keep a watch. Let's talk when you're done.

  She nods her head in approval.

  EXT. LOS DIABLOS - BAR - AFTERNOON

  St. Elizabeth sits at a table with Mitch; Ivy serves.

  Passed out on the table behind them is Rick.

  Erica, Heather, and Jennifer listen at the bar.

  St. Elizabeth

  Ever since I married you two you've been forever trying to kill her. Marriage can't be all that bad.

  MITCH BLACK

  You know she threatens my status as the world's deadliest assassin. I can't just simply poison her, she already suspects that and runs a poison test on anything I give her.

  St. Elizabeth

  Yes, my son. I know this. She's the world's deadliest female fatale and a major threat to you.

  MITCH BLACK

  No need to rub it in.

  St. Elizabeth

  So Ivy tells me you're organizing these fights. Will there be a wager?

  MITCH BLACK
<
br />   Only sponsors can make wagers. But the money will be huge. This is an opportunity for earning potential like never imagined.

  Mitch chugs his liquor and slams the glass down, waking Rick.

  Rick

  And the perfect opportunity to humiliate your wife in front of the world!

  MITCH BLACK

  Go back to sleep Rick. You're still hungover.

  RICK

  Whatever...

  He passes out.

  MITCH BLACK

  (to Ivy)

  Damn what'd you do to him?

  Ivy

  Gave him about a full day's worth of liquor. He'll be good by evening.

  St. Elizabeth

  Ahem. So about this sponsorship...

  RuSSELL BROWN

  One million.

  St. Elizabeth

  One million?

  Erica, Heather, and Jennifer look at each other in shock.

  MITCH BLACK

  Yep. Bidding starts at $100 grand each fight.

  St. Elizabeth

  Why so high?

  MITCH BLACK

  We've rigged the place with live cameras. To broadcast this girlfight all over the world on live streaming pay-per-view!

  St. Elizabeth

  And you expect to do this how, without getting caught?

  MITCH BLACK

  I am a government assassin as well, or did you forget that.

  St. Elizabeth

  Oh excuse me, world's deadliest assassin and government assassin, I can't keep track.

  RuSSELL BROWN

  The fights will be broadcast over the most secure servers worldwide. Every 1/10 of a second the servers change their location - the Government doesn't watch these systems and couldn't pinpoint it if they did.

  St. Elizabeth

  How would I explain the missing money to my church?

  MITCH BLACK

  How do you explain all the money you throw down to pay off your daughter's college tuition every year?

  St. Elizabeth

  All of this to kill one person. Consider it a gift from God and may the Lord have mercy on us all.

  They both shake hands.

  EXT. DEVIL’S DEVIANTS – PARKING LOT

  Jennifer, Erica, and Heather collect themselves.

  Erica

  They're up to something and it involves a lot of money.

  HEATHER

  I couldn't make it out but I think they're trying to setup some kind of fight.

  JeNNIFER

  A toughman contest?

  Erica

  No. A MMA fight. With models. This is genius. I can afford to get some broken bones for millions of dollars.

  JENNIFER

  I don't know. This is very fishy.

  Heather

  I would love to get away from that hotel.

  Erica

  Ah c'mon, my management isn't that bad.

  Both girls just look at her.

  Erica

  Let's come back tonight and see what's happening. I sure could use that million and in MMA every fight pays!

  They all three leave.

  INT. GYM

  Tiffany walks over to a table to see Alexa sitting there.

  She sits.

  ALEXA

  You've got to learn to defend yourself.

  TIFFANY

  I would've had her if it was a streetfight. I'm not into that fancy footwork.

  ALEXA

  Yea it's all for show. What if I were to offer you a chance to show her you mean business? What would you do for a chance at a multimillion dollar contract with an international modeling agency in Miami? You model, don't you?

  TIFFANY

  Yeah, I was on the cover of Wild Side magazine last week. But I'm looking for something different. Modeling for local photographers doesn't pay well and promotional work is very limited. I need something that will get me in the spotlight. I need the money for school.

  ALEXA

  I happen to have the perfect opportunity for all of that. It's an opportunity to fight Jade to the death. No rules, no fancy footwork. Just how you like it. You'll have to go through other girls but if you win... these fights will even be broadcast to a rich audience throughout the world so the opportunity for exposure is even greater!

  TIFFANY

  She did take my new man. She has it coming to her. I'm in.

  ALEXA

  Good girl. Meet me at Los Diablos tonight and I'll tell you more.

  INT. GYM

  Mitch enters. Here he meets Big Tony with his cronies Rick and Steve at the squat machine.

  Big Tony squats 500 pounds.

  Rick spots Mitch.

  Rick

  (to Big Tony)

  Hey Mitch. He's cool Big Tony.

  MITCH BLACK

  Are you Big Tony?

  Steve nears closer, prepared to attack.

  Rick remains still.

  Big TONY

  Who wants to know?

  MITCH BLACK

  I have a huge opportunity with real money that wants to know.

  Steve edges closer.

  RICK

  He's serious Big Tony, he's got a job for you.

  Steve

  Knock it off, Rick. How do we know he's not a cop?

  Immediately Mitch pulls out his gun.

  Steve pulls out a gun.

  STEVE

  That was real dumb. Get him Big Tony!

  Big TONY

  (raises hand)

  Silence. I trust Rick.

  (spits)

  What do you possibly have to offer?

  Steve taunts that he's lucky to be alive.

  MITCH BLACK

  Cute girls fighting to the death live on pay per view for the whole world to see!

  Big TONY

  What's in it for me?

  MITCH BLACK

  Money... lots and lots of money!

  BIG TONY

  I like it.

  MITCH BLACK

  (without fear)

  So does that mean you're in?

  Big Tony stares him in the eye. He punches Mitch in the gut. Mitch doubles over to his knees.

  BIG TONY

  You're one stupid idiot. But you have guts and I respect that. I'll invest but know this - if this deal turns sour I'll seal your fate upon the witching hour.

  Big Tony spits directly in his eye.

  Still floored, Mitch moans under his breath -

  MITCH BLACK

  That was some deep dark poetry.

  Big Tony smirks as Mitch limps away.

  MITCH BLACK

  Pleasure doing business with you.

  EXT. CEMETERY - EVENING

  Rayven, with three other girls, dressed in occult robes and pig masks, form a pentagram surrounded by burning candles at each point at Daisy's freshly-covered grave.

  The leader, Moonlight, wears a Blasphomet mask.

  A group of girls, a mix of Goth, emo, and anime fads, encircles these four girls.

  MOONLIGHT

  Now on with the opening ceremony! Let us deliver to Lucifer the blood of our sisterhood that binds us together as Lucifer's Daughters!

  The four girls slice their arms to mix their blood in a goblet and each drinks.

  Rayven breaks the circle.

  They all stop chanting to follow their eyes as she goes by a tree to vomit.

  Moonlight follows.

  MOONLIGHT

  We mustn't upset Lucifer!

  RAYVEN

  I want to lead the group for once...

  MOONLIGHT

  Lucifer is waiting for us. Come, let us rejoin the others in the sacred circle, we'll discuss it at Los Diablos after I visit St. Elizabeth to deliver me from evil.

  Rayven and Moonlight rejoin their circle.

  MOONLIGHT

  Sisters of the Night. Rayven has inquired about joining our sisterhood. She must prove herself worthy of being a Lucifer's Daughter. So she will be first to fight in his honor. It's time
our Fight Club begins.

  Rayven tackles Moonlight as she blocks it and uppercuts her in the face. She immediately knocks her to the ground with a bloodied nose.

  A police car blaring sirens pulls up.

  The girls run away, except for Rayven and Moonlight.

  Officer Stephens gets out of the car calmly.

  RAYVEN

  What did we do wrong officer?

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  You freaks know you can't be fighting in a cemetery. Ain't you got no respect for the dead?

  MOONLIGHT

  We envy the dead so we respect them very much.

  OFFICER STEPHENS

  Look as much as I like the idea of all you trailer park queens trying to make the world a better place by killing each other, I can't patronize this by allowing it. I won't arrest you either since you're helping us clean the trash in your community. Now get to your trailer parks where you belong.

  She leaves.

  Rayven

  There's got to be more to life than being harassed by a dumb cop.

  MoonLIGHT

  Nope. We're just destined to die.

  RAYVEN

  I have a feeling something's coming that's gonna change things.

  MOONLIGHT

  Yea sunshine, that cop if we don't leave.

  They leave.

  Just then St. Elizabeth pulls up.

  St. Elizabeth

  Moonlight, you wanted to talk to me?

  MOONLIGHT

  Well Rayven, I gotta go free my demons. Had a lot of fun, see you later at Los Diablos!

  Rayven leaves and Moonlight enters St. Elizabeth's car.

  INT. ST. ELIZABETH'S CAR

  Moonlight sits with St. Elizabeth.

  Moonlight

  So St. Elizabeth, Big Tony done kicked me to the curb. Says I'm too small for his guys. I need a job. Quick and easy money.

  St. Elizabeth

  What is the need for this money?

  MOONLIGHT

  The state is trying to take my baby away from me and I can't afford to fight it.

  St. Elizabeth

  Why is that?

  MOONLIGHT

  They don't agree my night job best qualifies me to raise a kid.

  St. Elizabeth

  I'm sorry to hear that my dear. The Lord works in very mysterious ways. You said you needed a job. I'll take you to Alexa now and put you to work tonight as a bartender. Have mercy on your soul.

  MOONLIGHT

  Oh, okay St. Elizabeth. You're the best.

  They both leave towards Los Diablos.

  HOSTILE TAKEOVER

  EXT. LOS DIABLOS - BAR

  Rick sobs at the bar.

  Amber tends it.

  Amber

  You've crying like a baby all night, what gives?

  Rick

  I can't forget about my girlfriend. Maybe she wasn't the right girl?

  AMBER

  I have a stable boyfriend and sugar daddy. We're getting married soon. I'm well taken care of.

  RICK

  I just can't believe she's gone!

  AMBER

  She shouldn't have fought if she didn't know what she was doing.
